Nice tank love that rimless look.
I have some sand but you are a bit too far away.

Yea, thanks Mike... I'm pretty stoked on the visual outcome.. Basically what I had in mind from the beginning.

Don't let Myka see you talkin about "rimless".. I figure I'll end up buying a bag of sand before I find half a one..

Bit of an update: A local reefer here offered up temporary use of his skimmer until I get mine ordered... Which is awesome.. Thanks again Kryptic4L!


Added 2 fish to the tank tonight... I replaced my Occelaris Clown that I lost while away for a christmas and brought home a tank raised True Perc. I thought they would be a BIT closer in size than they are though, not that it's a problem. The remaining occelaris and this new guy seem to be buddy-buddy already..

2nd addition was a McCoskers Flasher Wrasse... this one has me a bit nervous with regards to jumping... tempting fate with this purchase..

I'll try and get pics of both as soon as I can, the McCoskers' been in hiding since adding him...

Looks great Josh! I love the look of less rock, more water. Seeing your rockscape, I think the PBrT would probably look quite nice (albeit a shoal of Anthias is AWESOME). Do you still have the same stocking plans now?

Ya, that trimless look is real nice, eh? Seriously though, it does provide a nice, clean look. I am a fan of it, and my own tank would have been trimless, but my Jawfish harem plans needed a lid!

Thanks Mindy...

PBrT is still a for sure.. Convict I REALLY REALLY want.. but I'll have to see what I add before the tangs go in.. I am on the look out for a Pair of Zebra Angelfish, they are quite sharp. Also a Pacific Redstripe Hogfish (currently on hold at RC). Sunburst Anthias perhaps instead of my previous choice. So not doing the BEST job at sticking to my plans, but that's usually how it happens!

Love the tank... the shallow is a must from now on.. haha.. wish it was 30" wide instead of 24" though......... But that's for another time..

Top Down won't look all that hot till I get all my lighting, or even just a 2nd MH up and going. So I will be waiting before taking any... I'll do is as a before and after..

This tank was done with 1/2" glass... If it was much taller I would have gone 5/8s to 3/4"..
